Constance was born in Cameroon and raised in the US. She began acting as a teenager and went on to study theater at the University of Toronto in Canada. She later attended Leicester University in the UK where she received a master’s degree in Mass Communications. After completing her studies, she spent a brief time in the Washington, DC theatre community doing plays like The Emperor Jones and Death & The King’s Horseman before making the move to Los Angeles to further her training and advance her career.

Constance’s fascination with storytelling began at a very young age in her native Cameroon with exposure to Bollywood films. She’d spend hours in front of the television screen, mesmerized by the spectacle, singing and dancing; completely undeterred by the fact that rarely were these epic Hindi films accompanied by subtitles. It was through this experience that she came to understand the universality of stories and how storytelling can transcend barriers like language and culture.

In 2001 while still a student at the University of Toronto School of Drama, she was cast in the Canadian premiere of renowned Nigerian playwright and Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka’s Madmen and Specialists. Years later, she was directed by Soyinka himself in a staged reading of his epic poem Samarkand alongside CCH Pounder and Danny Glover. In 2012, she starred in a play called Carry the World: Women and Peace opposite Academy Award Nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo. Constance’s television credits include a recurring role on TNT’s Proof (2015), and guest starring roles in notable shows like Monk (2009), 24 (2009), Southland (2011), and Eagleheart (2012).

Joseph was born in Oklahoma City as the youngest of 5 kids. Bugs Bunny cartoons and I Love Lucy episodes sparked his interest in acting, and once his parents took notice, he was enrolled in a drama after school program. He stayed with it through most of his early years but left it completely in college for a new love, Archaeology, which took him to Italy, Israel, and Cairo for many adventures. The pursuit of acting was always in the back of his mind but not quite having the ‘chutzpa’ to go out and pursue acting as a career, he went to grad school in the one city that would make that experience enjoyable, Miami.

During his last year in school the death of a fellow student woke him up. Realizing how precious life was, he summoned the courage to move to Los Angeles after graduation. He started doing plays and indie films and eventually, one role led to another. Joe’s career took some leaps, and in 2012 a short-film he was cast in called The Percipient premiered at the Cannes Festival. His latest credits include guest stars on the CBS shows Criminal Minds (2014) & Scorpion(2014), a leading role in a UK film entitled Capsule(2015), a leading role in Ben & Ara (2015) which he wrote and produced, and a supporting role in King Cobra (2016) starring James Franco and directed by Justin Kelly.

Nnegest is passionate filmmaker with 10 years experience working as a professional writer/director in Hollywood. Early in her career, she caught the attention of a top Hollywood film producer who optioned one of her screenplays after reading it.

After Phat Girlz, Nnegest took time off from the industry to travel abroad.

Akuyoe is an award-winning actress, author, and educator. She possesses an extraordinary gift – the ability to sit with society’s outcasts and rapidly guide them to a life-changing experience of their own Beauty of Being.

Akuyoe’s personal encounter with her transcendent inner beauty was the culmination of a life-long journey, which she re-enacts in her highly acclaimed one-woman play, Spirit Awakening. She takes audiences on her odyssey of self-discovery – from tribal princess in her native Ghana, to British schoolgirl, to socialite-wannabe in New York, and finally back to her original African heritage and deeper spiritual Self. Whether in a prison classroom with a dozen inmates – or on stage before hundreds of students or regular playgoers – Akuyoe’s archetypal journey electrifies audiences and inspires them to look beneath their own social masks to their unchanging inner essence.

Akuyoe is the author of the best-selling book, “The Little Book of Transformation/7 days to a brand new you,” and can be seen in the films Switchboard, Faith and Dreams, The Good Wifey; American Pie, and Danika.
